completely flat and this helps with "packing." As I said, I usually stuff my dolls very firmly.
I've taken a picture here of "hemostats." These are actually medical tools but can be
purchased in the fishing or sport department at Wal-Mart, at local medical supply stores, or
online.
Here I am stuffing with, of course, one of my paintbrush handles.
This is a picture to help you see how hemostats can be useful when stuffing
legs, arms, etc.
Here is the finished doll. Notice her thumbs are pointed towards the front and her feet
are pointed inward and towards each other.
2. Looking at the picture, place eye patterns where you desire on the dolls face and
place a few straight pins to keep them in place.
3. With a flexible measuring tape, measure from the side seam to the eye on one
side and do the same on the other. Make adjustments to the eyes as necessary
until they are both of equal distance from the side seam to the edge of the
eyes. Once you have those straight, take the flexible measuring tape and lay it
down straight across the face directly underneath the eyes making sure they
are straight and even with each other. Tack them in place with straight pins.
4. Using a mechanical pencil, trace outline of eyes. Note: I use a mechanical pencil
and recommend it to my customers as it has a finer line than regular #2 pencils.
The wider the pencil line, the wider the eye. Using a small paint brush and with
your black acrylic paint, very carefully outline the eyes.
5. Then again very carefully paint in the rest of the eye. Let dry.

6. With the end of your small paintbrush, dip the very end of the handle lightly in
the antique white acrylic paint and very carefully dot in the whites of the eyes.
Nose:
1.
2. Looking at the picture, place nose pattern where you desire on the face and keep
it in place with straight pins.
3. Using a mechanical pencil, outline the nose pattern. Thread your 5-inch doll
needle with 2 strands of the red embroidery floss. Going in from the very top
of the head with your needle (this would be covered with her hair) go all the way
down to the bottom of her nose. Now...the 5-inch doll needle is necessary to
reach from the top of her head down to the bottom of her nose, but it would be
very difficult to try to stitch the nose with this long needle. When I get to the
bottom of the nose I remove my embroidery floss from the doll needle and
rethread it on a smaller needle.
11
4. Keeping the stitches very close together, satin stitch the entire nose. In case
you're not familiar with a satin stitch, there is an illustration of the satin stitch
towards the end of these instructions. When you are at the top of the nose and
ready for the last stitch, unthread your embroidery floss from the small needle
and rethread on your long 5-inch doll needle. Take the last stitch at the top of
the nose and come out at the top of the head again. Tie a knot in the thread and
trim floss.
Mouth:
1. Print and cut out the mouth pattern on card stock.
12
2. Looking at the picture, place the mouth where you want and once again, with the
flexible rule, measure on both sides of the mouth and make sure you have it
evenly placed on the face. Pin with straight pins.
3. With a mechanical pencil, trace the very bottom of your doll's mouth up to the
point of the bolded line (in the middle of the mouth pattern).
4. To outline curves at the outside corners of the mouth (some call them dimples),
unpin the mouth pattern and move it so that one of the very ends of the mouth
pattern is situated at one of the corners of the mouth that you have just traced
on your doll. Line the bold mark (in the middle of the pattern) up with the line
of the mouth you just traced. This is where you will want the curves, so trace an
outline here. Do the same on the other side of the mouth.
5. Thread

2. For your eyelashes, draw the very bottom lash first as this one you can place in
the very center of the eye; then draw the outer two eyelashes on either side of
the first one. Again with your firm ruler, place where you want the eyelashes
and with your mechanical pencil draw 3 eyelashes for each eye 1/2 inch long.
3. Thread your doll needle with a very long strand (1 strand) of the dark brown
embroidery floss and using simple backstitches, stitch the eyelashes on one eye,
go up and stitch the eyebrow on that eye. Do the same on the second eye ending
with the eyebrow as it is then simple to take your thread back up and out
through the very top of the doll's head. You can backstitch the eyelashes and
eyebrows with one long (or short) stitch. When going from one eye to the other,
you may need to unthread your small needle and switch to your long needle and
then once you are at the next eye switch back to your small needle. Tie your
thread off and trim.
14
Cheeks:
1. Dip a small amount of your barn red paint onto a paper towel. Light dip your medium
stencil brush into the red paint.
2. Pounce the brush off on paper towels. Pounce, pounce, and pounce. Unless you want
her cheeks to be very red, you will really want to pounce your brush onto the paper
towel until it appears as if there is no paint left on the brush (believe me there is
still paint there). Then very lightly, in circular motions, paint on her cheeks. Let
dry.

The face for your primitive doll is now done. I really sincerely hope you enjoyed it.
Remember also that a primitive doll is supposed to have the appearance of a worn, wellloved, old doll. One that has been slept with, played with and drug around everywhere...they
are not supposed to be perfect and in fact the more "imperfect" they are, the more
desirable and the more "primitive." For instance, if you look at the nose on this doll...in the
picture, you will notice that I somehow ended up curving it a bit towards the top. If I had
wanted to, I could have taken the stitches out and stitched the nose again. But...I decided
I like it; I think it gives her a character all her own. And I'm sure your dolls with have their
own character as well.

I stuff my dolls fairly firmly; to prevent seams from popping due to stress placed on
them, set your sewing machine for small stitches.
When stuffing, try to feed the poly-fil stuffing in with one long continuous flow of
stuffing. helps to prevent air bubbles which can develop between small pieces of
stuffing.
Spray water when stuffingshrinks the muslin and results in a tighter smoother look
to your doll. Tip spray each section of the doll right before stuffing that area.
After painting the dolls feet for shoes, sand for a more vintage look. However, be
very careful you don't sand too much or you might end up with holes.
After sewing your doll, cut her out with pinking shears; this helps soften the edges,
helps ease the pieces into tight areas such as the neck, and removes all the bulk
that can hamper a good, smooth curve. Gives a smoother finish to your doll.
Buy middle of the line muslin; I've had some of the cheaper that ripped easily.
After painting shoes (feet) black, when sanding, be careful as the dust from the
sanded black paint can get on your fingers and thus get on the rest of the dolls
leg...or if sanding the upper shoe, close to the leg, the dust can get on there.
Make several different body types; larger or smaller heads, hands with and without
thumbs, smaller and larger feet, etc.
Print our each doll pattern on card stock and print out the instructions on plain
paper. Store in large zip lock bags and label them.
When storing your own designs not only keep the patterns for each doll together
but also the leg designs together, arms together, bodies and heads, etc. When you
begin your next doll you can pull these out and decide which arms, legs, etc. you want
for your next doll.
A hemostat is an essential tool for turning as far as I'm concerned. Turning very
small sewn pieces was a struggle before I discovered this nifty little tool. I've
included a picture of one here in this class. I'm not sure you can really see in the
picture, but they actually have little teeth which help to grip and hold your fabric
for ease in turning. I also use these for stuffing. I use them for grabbing and
holding onto the stuffing as I then ease the stuffing into the arms, legs, etc. These
can be bought online as well as at Wal-Mart in the fishing department or at medical
supply stores.
Skirt patterns are not included as they are easy and simple to
make. Simply measure the area where your skirt will be attached
to the bodice and either double it or triple it depending on how
full you want her skirt.
Stuffing lines: I usually stop stuffing the arms about 1-1/2 inches from the top of
the arm (open end) and 2 inches from the top of the legs.
Unfortunately not everything attempted turns out the way we desire. Once you put
your doll in the oven you are at the mercy of the fates. I cannot tell you how many
dolls I've pulled from the oven with dark stains strewn about their face. However,
20
you must consider this. "Primitive", by definition, means "imperfect." That's their
charm. Andthere is a buyer for every doll. If you are active in craft fairs, etc.,
include these dolls.
15. If you've had bad luck with baking your doll, try purchasing the tea-dyed muslin.
16. Experiment with different stains, baking times and degrees. Try hanging your doll
up to dry instead of baking. I found that I love the look of purchasing the tea-dyed
muslin and then staining it. It comes out with a look that I just love.
17. For my skirt pattern, I will often use a piece of card stock and putting the short
end of the card stock on the fold.

Recipes
Where I purchase
Staining: Combine cup instant coffee, 2 cups hot water, 1/4 cup Vanilla extract and
teaspoon fragrance oil (Some of my preferred scents are cinnamon bun, sugar cookies, and
vanilla) in a glass jar with lid. Shake for few minutes until thoroughly mixed. If the scent is
not strong enough for your preference, add another 1/8 teaspoon of fragrance oil and
continue this until the scent is to your liking. However, I would suggest only adding 1/8
teaspoon of fragrance oil each time because if you add too much and the scent is too strong
for you, you will have to start over. Line an old cookie sheet with old rags and lay what
youre staining here. With a sponge brush or spray bottle thoroughly coat. Bake for 10
minutes at 200 degrees. Check often as this can catch on fire. If you have to bake longer,
only bake at 5 minute increments and always KEEP checking the oven. Store left over stain
mixture in glass jar with lid for your next primitive project.
Rusting Recipe: Combine 2 cups white vinegar, 1/4 cup peroxide and 2 tablespoons salt in a
large plastic container; soak for 4 hours. Remove to paper towels, spritz with peroxide and
spread salt on them. Let sit for another 2 hours. NOTE: This recipe calls for a large
container as this recipe foams up pretty quickly.
